afaik I’m on an older version of https://github.com/distribution/distribution/pkgs/container/distribution

my compose somehow doesn’t have much info … i should have made more notes

image: registry:2

i selfhost a pullthrough docker repository, so every container I use is stored in there and can be pulled offline.

I prefer plain old arch

a budget oriented one

It’s the other way around. You can get modpacks for a client super easy with a one click install, but adding them to a server is manual and you have to read on how to set that up. Not worth the effort if you want to quickly play with 2 people on LAN.

There is one more catch: you can’t play LAN games either without a valid session ID. (start singleplayer world -> ESC -> open LAN multiplayer)

You have to properly start a server so that you can change the conf to allow offline accounts.

I backup the whole / with borg

It has insane deduplication and compression and it creates a structure kind of like git, so you can have lots of incrimental versions without using much space.

It does sound like one, but it isn’t. Ignoring the differences in UX:

Passkey

• Per-service key pair, unique per domain, Identity bound only to that specific account on that site
• Challengeresponse via WebAuthn
• Trust anchored only in the target service (no external CA)
• Private key sealed in OS / secure hardware keystore

Certificate login

• Single global identity usable across many services
• TLS client authentication with certificates
• Trust established via certificate authorities and chain validation
• Private key stored in exportable file or smartcard

I think OP is talking about auth in services that you selfhost.

For example elster.de forces you to sign in with one of the many passwordless methods, which includes: entering a username and uploading a cert file.

But most selfhosted services only have username/password logins (if any).

the tld in the post is .eg(ypt)

Change into a tty, check your journalctl and see if there are any related errors for the current boot.

journalctl -b -p err

you don’t need approval to make a protocol, make an implementation and just use it yourself

What did you try and what was the error?

frp has an option to encrypt the tunnel

or something like nanokvm

Thanks for sharing!

eSpeak-ng

yeeah, from my experience with eSpeak - I don’t trust it to sound even remotely human or to pronounce everything correctly.

But it might be a viable alternative for somebody else!

I googled around and I’m pretty sure there is no such thing.

• The best ready to use project I stumbled upon is https://github.com/yousefvand/pronunciations and I have no clue whether it still works, because it uses google voice online once and downloads the robot made audio.

• There is Lingua Libre, but I couldn’t even find where to get the raw dataset for download

• dict.cc has great online audio in the web and an offline app without audio …

the only poiny I am arguing for is:

if somebody is looking for a solution that is effectively equivalent to a proxy, they can enter into the search engine either “vpn” or “proxy” and they will find more results that will work for their usecase that way.

While you are getting hung up on semantics that I technically agree on, but I find meaningless in the real world usecase of looking for a solution that effectively works like a proxy.

If you have one of those cars that can be used as a boat. And you only ever use it in water and never on land, it doesn’t really make sense to me to exclusively call it a car. Even though it factually is one, it acts as a boat. At least call it carboat.

If I have a VPN, but it’s sole purpose is to take all the traffic that knocks on it’s network-adapter and shove it down a dev/tun and vice verca, why can we not say (with the goal of clear communication and precise descriptions) that it effectively acts as a proxy ?

Hell the ability to access the internet via the tunnel, called Split Tunneling, is also controllable.

It’s that ability to control where the tunnel terminates that allows consumer VPNs, like Proton, to be used the way they are.

you can do the same split tunneling via proxy servers

while private individuals absolutely do use VPNs as an ersatz replacement for Proxy Servers they are nowhere near the whole use case for VPN

I agree. That also means that for certain usecases they are equivalent. It’s sometimes worth checking all options to find the best one for that specific case.
